How is the ocean layered?
Mixed Layer Main Thermocline Deep Water Layer
What are the three temperature layers of ocean water?
the first layer is the surface layer it is nice and warm and mixed with the waves. the next layer is the thermocline it is just warm not any thing special. the next is freezing cold i would not want to go there.
What percent of the ocean's volume is made up by the mixed layer?
2%
The mixed layer is thickest at the?
The mixed layer is generally thickest at the surface of the ocean where wind forcing and surface heating or cooling have the greatest impact on mixing. This layer extends from the surface to a certain depth, typically a few hundred meters, and plays a key role in distributing heat, nutrients, and gases throughout the upper ocean.
What has the author Roland W Garwood written?
Roland W Garwood has written: 'A general model of the ocean mixed layer' -- subject(s): Mathematical models, Turbulent boundary layer, Oceanic mixing, Ocean-atmosphere interaction
What the is thermocline?
The transition layer between the mixed layer at the surface and the deep water layer.

Where does the largest temperature change occur in the mixed layer and why?
The largest temperature change occurs at the base of the mixed layer where it meets the thermocline. This is because the mixed layer is in direct contact with the atmosphere and undergoes rapid temperature changes due to heating from the sun and cooling from wind and evaporation. As the mixed layer interacts with the thermocline, which is characterized by a sharp temperature gradient, the temperature change is accentuated.
What is the middle layer of the ocean called zone?
The middle layer of the ocean is called the thermocline.
What is the temperature for the summer in an ocean biome?
The temperature for the summer in an ocean biome depends on the layer of the ocean. The top layer will be the warmest.
What is the mixed layer?
many moons
